It was the tradition for local children to pick berries on the mountain on the last Sunday of July, known locally as Garlic Sunday (apparently a corruption of 'garland') (MacNeill, 191). Walks: for a cliff-top walk near Achill Head, see Siúlóidí Acla, walk A. Previously Tonacroaghaun in MV.
Croaghaun is the highest mountain in the Achill/Corraun area and the 131st highest in Ireland.Trackback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/127/?PHPSESSID=mimcta3fhmltv5feh1orksabs6

I climbed Mount Brandon in June on the occasion of my first visit to Ireland. On my second visit I did some walks on Achill and climbed Croaghaun with my boyfriend Paul. We were lucky enough to have a spell of fine weather after several weeks of rain, so we had fabulous views of the rugged coastline and the nearby islands. I am used to walking in the Vosges and also in the Alps, so I was surprised at the lack of waymarked paths in the West of Ireland, which makes the summits quite challenging despite their lower altitude and adds to the sense of adventure. I have already completed 1.1% of the Irish 500m summits, so only 98.9% to go! Trackback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/127/comment/2807/
